Bodywork Styles

Therapeutic Massage

Similar to Swedish massage this style of work has a basis in traditional western approaches to bodywork.  Tailored to your body, it utilizes deep tissue techniques in a fluid manner to relieve pain comfortably and effectively.  Incorporating stretches lengthens the muscles and reduces tensions.  Therapeutic massage will soothe your body and mind; it is an excellent massage for regular maintenance.

Prenatal Massage

Massage for the expectant mother is given in a side lying position using pillows for support and comfort.  Prenatal massage helps to relieve low back pain, sciatica, fatigue and swelling of the hands and feet.  Done only after the first trimester of pregnancy, it is a wonderful way to get in touch with both your body and your baby.

Hot Stone Massage

This is a truly luxurious style of bodywork.  Naturally smoothed basalt stones are heated to 120 degrees for this 1-1/2 hour session.  These warm oiled rocks are used to work your entire body.  When needed, cold stones are utilized to balance and restore.  Alternating hot and cold stimulates increased blood flow to the muscles bringing with it essential nutrients for repair and nourishment.  Often described as deep tissue in disguise, this gentle yet thorough style of bodywork penetrates deeper into the tissues than most forms of bodywork.  Hot Stone Massage carries you beyond the physical experience of massage and leaves you wrapped in warmth and comfort.

Traditional Thai Therapy

Also known as Thai-Yoga Therapy, this massage is done fully clothed while lying on a mat.  The passive applications of yoga asanas blended with Shiatsu style massage benefits the whole body.  Thai massage can be tailored to your body with deep tissue acupressure type work and heavy stretching or gentle soothing movements and light stretches.  Unique because it strengthens and reenergizes sore tired muscles while inducing deep relaxation.  Most notably this style of bodywork increases joint mobility and flexibility allowing the body to function more effectively.
